VMware vSAN 8.x Administrator — Question 11

Due to limited budget and hardware, an administrator is constrained to a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) consolidated architecture of seven ESXi hosts in a single cluster. An application that consists of two virtual machines hosted on this infrastructure requires minimal disruption to storage IO during business hours.
Which two options that would be most effective in mitigating this risk without reducing availability? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Enable fully automatic (Distributed Resource Scheduling) DRS policies on the cluster
• B. Replace the vSAN shared storage exclusively with an All-Flash Fibre channel shared storage solution
• C. Apply 100% CPU and Memory reservations on these virtual machines
• D. Implement FTT=1 Mirror for this application virtual machine
• E. Perform all host maintenance operations outside of business hours

Correct answer: D, E

Explanation

The correct answers are D and E because implementing FTT=1 Mirror ensures that data is mirrored to provide redundancy without impacting availability, while performing host maintenance outside of business hours minimizes disruption. Options A, B, and C do not specifically address the requirement for minimal disruption during business hours or may lead to resource contention that affects availability.
